Cinnamon Wheels (Rolls)
Make a bread dough or buy a tube of biscuits from the store to use. Let the children help roll them out flat and then into spirals/wheels and top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake and eat. Delicious!
Here is our favorite recipe to use:
Cinnamon Rolls
•2 cups milk
•1 cup butter
•3/4 cup sugar
•4 eggs
•2 Tbs of yeast
•1 tsp salt
•1 Tbs sugar
•2 Tbs vanilla
•1/2 cup warm water
•1 Tbs lemon extract
•Approximately 8 cups flour
Scald Milk. Combine yeast, water, sugar. Add butter, sugar, salt, eggs and milk (after milk has cooled). Add remaining ingredients. Makes a sticky dough, not stiff. Let rise until double, covered. Punch down. Roll out into a long rectangle. Spread with either a cinnamon mixture (brown sugar, softened butter and cinnamon stirred together) and top with raisins and chopped pecans, or spread it with and orange mixture (white sugar, butter and grated orange peel). Roll up into a spiral. Use string to cut into individual rolls. Place on a greased cookie sheet, cover and let rise until double. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes.

Mechanic Shop
Visit a mechanic shop and see the cars lifted up high, maybe watch them rotate the tires or do some other repair.
Car Ramps
Make several ramps of different heights for your children to drive toy cars down (blocks and boards work well). Ask them which one makes the cars go faster. See if they can tell you why. If not tell them why.
Washing Cars
Let the children help wash a real car or toy cars. Talk about how we take care of our cars and keep them clean.
Car Tracks
Provide your children with paper and paint, and let them drive their cars in the paint and on the papers. Talk about the wheel tracks.
Car Trip Play
Set up the dramatic play area for the children to pretend they are going on a Car Trip using any of the following props: car (a box or small chairs), map, pretend snacks, guide books, pictures, car games to play, traffic & street signs, etc.
Cars Outside
Outside place bikes and wagons and gas pump (box & hoses) for the kids to drive "cars".
License Plates
Find a book about license plates or pictures of license plates from different countries and/or states. Using a map, show where each license plate is from. Discuss why we use license plates.
Cars Journal Page
Read a book about different types of cars then hand out a journal sheet with this question on it: "If you built a car, what kind of car would you build?" Record the children's responses and let them draw a picture to go along with their response.
